We also prefer to judge Socialists by those we know rather than
by those we read about. W hile we do not agree with them in their
severe criticism of the church, we m ust recognize that there is a d if­
ference between church and religion. The two should go together,
but it is possible for there to be church w ithout religion and religion
without church. We do not believe religion would m ake m uch pro
gress without church; certainly church would m ake no progress with
out religion; but we fail to see in an honest criticism by some of the
Socialists of the work of the churches a blasphem y of religion,
especially when we are fam iliar with the lives of those m aking such a
criticism .
Socialism, in our opinion, will never succeed, but if it ever does
become a power in the land, it will become so through the efforts of
those of its members who are students of the Good Book/ of the
philosophers and of the problems of the day, rather than through
those ruffians who publish screeds about the public men of the nation
and blasphem e the Lord in the nam e of Socialism .
No great and perm anent movement ever yet succeeded through an
appeal to the lower passions of m an. Socialism will be no exception
to the rule. It is m aking progress because of the men in it who be­
lieve it a m eans to right m any wrongs. We doubt if the party would
have cast 1000 votes in the late election if its candidates had declared
for atheism and free love.
We find enough in Socialism to criticize w ithout accusing it of
